Sure, but IF he's to be a fit here this season, THAT is the role you want him focused on filling. Also, he doesn't have to create the ways those guys do in order to be the main source of offense with the bench unit. The entire point of having both Luka and Kyrie is that you have one of them on the court for the majority of the game, so I think it's quite plausible (though far from a given, to your point) that stretches where the goal of the offense is to create shots for THJ, especially against bench players, might be really effective.
